    You brain already do it. Images that our eyes do see are in fact same - upside down. You brain trains through your life to get them back. Same way as it trains to fill in gaps in vision (blind spots and unsharp zones), to transform very narrow field of sharp vision into wider one, to deal with scanning nature of human vision.
